New Yucca plant! I hope it grows big and strong.

If schools are meant to prepare young people for employment, why do they impose literal punishments for things like this? (The student 'only' got 81% it turns out) theconversation.com/child-given-...

The webuyanycar ad that buffers #SuperSunday. Who signed that off? How long did they keep up the chanting while filming? Did the fellow actors know who Richards was? Finally, the bigger question, has late-stage capitalism and a dwindling attention economy resulted in much worse TV ads? #lfc

Giggled at this. #lfc #liverpool #YNWA

I miss Bobby Firmino #redsky #liverpool #liv #ynwa

We continue to slowly creep towards becoming a full-blown surveillance state. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Late staff & student meeting, tired but I love the way this campus building looks at night time. #university #peterborough #ucp #universitycentrepeterborough

#LFC oh would you look at that, another referee from Manchester.

Managed to finish all my prep for this semester, bar one week 9 lecture, really pleased #sociology

#LFC Horrible game to watch. Everyone is twitchy and nervous. No one is playing well. Wasteful and far too much standing still. No one really wants it.

#LFC Disappointing is an understatement.

My view today, timetabling and moderating

Back on it today: finish marking, some moderation and starting to think about the new semester.

If #LFC fail to re-sign Mo and Virgil, it will be one one of the biggest incidences of mismanagement this club has seen since Gillett and Hicks. The best defender in the world and the best attacker in the world, and they are walking away for free.

My take is that if Trent leaves #LFC to play with his friend in Madrid, he will leave the club an icon, but certainly not a legend. He's essentially about to hit his peak, and he's deciding to give those years to Real Madrid. He's giving up vice-captaincy of the club to become a squad player.

We're witnessing greatness 👽🎩 #LFC #mosalah

Yippee Ki-Yay

There's two Cs in concise but my brain

Ridiculously excited for season 2 of #Severance

People who sign off with 'cheerio' should be valued highly. What a beautiful word.

I can't believe it's week 10 already. Where did the time go? Need to start marking...

Watching The Jetty on BBC, just wow. Incredible!

You don't see cars towing cars anymore.

Oasis tickets?

My #Garmin watch should be more grateful of the sleep I do get.

Bluesky does gifs now (hard g)… so, I’m going to contribute. Basically what I’m doing at the moment…

Slot to become new #LiverpoolFC manager. Underwhelming, but I hope I’m proved wrong.

Weekend, short break from the tide of marking I’m working through.

My Roman Empire is actually the Cold War. I think about it probably a few times per week at least.

Utterly heartless, devoid of any compassion or humanity.

It’s obviously #Friday, but it has #Saturday energy.
